Coloured roof coating
in Rixensart
The nearby woods keep everything damp: moss removal and gutter clearing come round more often here than elsewhere. That is why coloured roof coating comes up so often in our schedule in Rixensart.

The context in Rixensart
Why here in particular
Being close to the woods keeps everything damp: moss removal and gutter clearing come round more often here than elsewhere. So we adapt the kit and the method rather than running a standard protocol.
A 25-year-old concrete tile is not necessarily finished: it is faded and porous. Recoating it with a water-repellent product costs a fraction of a re-roof and adds about ten years to its life.

Frequently asked questions
Coloured roof coating in Rixensart
The questions we get asked most often before this kind of job.
Is it allowed everywhere?
In some protected centres the roof colour is regulated. We check with the municipality before ordering the product.
Can natural slate be painted?
No. It has to stay breathable; a film-forming paint makes it flake off.
How long between the cleaning and the painting?
48 h of drying minimum, three days in damp weather.
Do you come out to Rixensart with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Rixensart is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.
